Did This For The Shining's 80th Anniversary. It Turned Out Google Misled Me And It Was Actually For The

Did this for The Shining's 80th anniversary. It turned out google misled me and it was actually for the 80th anniversary of The Shining's release specifically in Spanish cinemas but oh well. I will hold onto the idea that The Shining released in December, solely for the purposes of arguing in favour of its status as a Christmas movie. Redraw of a shot from that one scene with the axe and the door, but the axe and the door can't be seen from here. It's outside. The axe is inside. There's a wall in the way. Nothing for it.

Backgrounds from some character illustrations I did a while ago. They've aged better than the actual characters so I'm posting them on their own.

All my big traditional pieces from last year. One for every month except March which had two. Some of them have funny titles but attaching them to this post feels fundamentally wrong.

Drew Rat a bunch recently, decided I'd post all her art together. Wildly inconsistent coloring because 2021 me refused to draw her normally and also I decided between then and now to make her skin and hair a bit darker.

Periodically I find reason (Discord server art challenges) to draw Pokemon gijinkas and a couple of times I've been proud of my efforts so here are those. Cacturne from 2023 and Dustox and Beautifly from 2021. I don't think Beautifly is especially clear but I was really invested in some kind of hippie drummer look for some reason so there she is.

Eleonore Mordis Linden, a character who came about in response to the art prompt "Design a magical girl with an improbable/impractical weapon." So I went y'know what's real impractical and unwieldy? Impossible geometry. And decided to make her powers the Penrose steps. But not really because I thought them being circular looked nicer and the only way to do that (simply) is to essentially draw a turbine, the geometry of which is quite possible. I did start a different circular Penrose steps thing once that I'd conceptualised mathematically but then my laptop died and took that file with it before being brought back to life. Maybe one day.

Anyway I later decided on a name and personality, the latter of which I recently described as, "the type of person to ask you if it would be funny if she ate this entire ice cream in one go and then do it before you can respond." Then I did that redesign in the first image because my 2019 self didn't have a single clue how to design a magical girl. 2022 me is slightly better but gave her that disaster of a hairstyle that 2023 me has somewhat corrected.

2020 me would like you to see these projections from the making of that second image:

Plus the result of those, sans Eleonore:

With a mouse, too. Little guy was not acting normal.
